  • IPhoto opens automatically when iPhone is connected

    iPhoto for Mac (Yosemite) opens automatically when iPhone (iOS 8) is connected. I have "no application" chosen in iPhoto preferences and Image Capture has no preference options in the menu. I can find nothing in System Preferences OS X 10 or in Setting iOS 8. Where do I turn off the automatic iPhoto start?

    This is most likely because it is  asking you to choose photos to sync to your computer. I don't know how to get rid of it though. Hope you find the answer!

    Have just upgraded to LION.  iTuneshelper in Login items is now not found and iTunes will not start automatically when an iPhone is connected via USB.

  • ITunes 11.1.5 doesn't open automatically when iPhone 5 connected

    I have tried checking and unchecking "open iTunes when iPhone is connected" and that hasn't helped.

    I’ve found another solution for those where this doesn’t resolve it.
    From user Crosbie at MacForums.com
    You can extract iTunes Helper from the iTunes package, if you like, to replace the absent one.
    It can be found by right-clicking the iTunes app and choosing 'Show Package Contents'; then navigate down to the 'MacOS' folder. You can then drag it to your open 'login items' window.

    This solved the issue for me, where unchecking and re-checking didn’t.

  • ITunes 9.2.1 will not open automatically when iphone connected

    i have all the relevant boxes ticked, and have tried all the 'fixes' i.e unchecking autosync boxes and then re ticking them but with no success. i have even unistalled iTunes, and reinstalled it. I have to say when i reinstalled iTunes, when i connected my iphone (3GS Running Version 4.1) iTunes did open ok, but subsequently when i connect my phone, im back to my original situation????
    I have connected my daughters 2G iPhone running V3.13 and again this has no effect on iTunes.
    Strangely though i have connected my daughters iPod Nano and voila!!! iTunes opens automatically???
    Can anybody figure this one out please???

    Finally i have worked out why itunes didn't open when my iphone or ipod was connected. Ituneshelper.app (which is burried in the itunes app) was not running as a start up item.
    to fix this, if anybody else has this issue.......
    1. open up applications, and right click the itunes icon.
    2. select 'show package contents'
    3. open the contents folder
    4. open the resources folder
    5. scroll down until you find the ItunesHelper icon.
    6. Now open up your system preferences.
    7. select accounts
    8. select login items
    9. now drag the ItunesHelper icon into the login items screen
    10. This will now put the ituneshelper app into the startup items.
    To confirm the change restart your mac, and connect your iphone!!! Ehhhh voila!!!!
    Hope this helps as ive been looking for a solution for ages.

  • Itunes wont open automatically when ipod is connected

    any idea why?
    its 4th gen ipod touch

    Launch iTunes.
    From the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click iTunes > Preferences then select the Devices tab.
    Deselect:  Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically
    Click OK.
    Now connect your iPod to your computer.
    Select the iPod under Devices left side of the iTunes window in the source list.
    Now select the Summary tab.
    Select:  Open iTunes when this <device> is connected

  • IPhoto not opening up when Iphone is connected

    So I had this problem, Iphoto and image capture and itunes (sometimes) was not recognizing my iPhone3G.
    Tried everything listed earlier.
    ANSWER: I attached a new cord and it worked perfectly. If your cord is in any way having to be " Played" with or wiggeled in the Mac
    will have a hard time seeing the device.

    If you have autosync in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices disabled, enable it again. Then click on your phone in the device list, and check the Summary pane if autolaunch is selected. If no, select it, go back to Edit/Preferences/Devices and enable the option to prevent autosync, if you had this selected before.
    The reason to go back and forth is, that you can't see if autolaunch for iTunes is selected in the Summary pane, if you disabled autosync.
    I hope this makes sense

  • Why does iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected?

    Why does iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected? and iPhone as well?  Setting to "auto open" is selected, but iTunes will not open automatically. Problem seems to have begun with upgrade to Lion.

    Good luck getting an answer...I posted the same question a day ago.   I can only assume it's a glitch in iTunes 10.5.

  • ITunes not opening automatically

    iTunes are not opening automatcially while I connect my iPhone?

    When connecting my iPhone, iTunes does not always open automatically. My preferences in iTunes are set to open automatically (under summary>options) and the choice to disable automatic syncing (iTunes prefs>Devices) is not checked. Any ideas as to what else can cause this conflict?
    It should. Make sure the iTunesHelper application is in your list of Login Items (System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items). You may need to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service:

    Also, is there anyway to set iPhoto to not open automatically when connecting an iPhone, yet to open automatically when connecting a digital camera? Seems like Apple could make iPhoto smart enough to know the difference.
    It seems that way, but it's not the case. It's an all-or-none thing, unfortunately.
